Hello i own an etsy shop and today I received a mail were etsy informed me that one of my items have been deactivated because of trademark infringement from Warner Bros. Which I understand, the item was a bracelet with a harry potter symbol.
My question is, Is this case closed? or do I have to pay a fee? or contact someone?, I was provide with the contact of who gave the information to deactivate my item on mail. Or should I just don´t sell it again and it is over?

I don´t know what proceeds? What normally proceeds when there is a trademark infringement?

as i understand it and seen it enforced on the web, they will usually leave you alone as long as you cease using the protected trademark. if you try to continue, then they will usually escalate, possibly ending up in a law suit.
i believe you can continue to sell the item, perhaps as movie memorabillia, without using the trademark. or you could sell it as a harry potter bracelet without showing a picture of the item.

companies such as disney have web bots that crawl around looking for anything on their trademark list and sending nastygrams to those who infringe.

if you are really worried, i would suggest spending some bux and consulting a lawyer.

Usually if you don't further sell the item the issue is done and closed.
It's not really worth it for them to try to sue you over it.

In this regard it is good to consult an attorney practicing in the field of copyright and trademarks. He will contact the person who informed you about the trademark infringement so that the attorney can decide if there is any scope for defense.
